Grinders

417 E. 18th St.
Kansas City, MO 64108
816-472-5454
Website
The brainchild of longtime starving artist Jeff Rumaner, aka Stretch, this art-gallery-turned-pizza-joint is pretty rough around the edges -- but in a good way. Inside, the motley assortment of artwork, tattooed employees, mismatched condiment containers and various barflies makes for the perfect post-gallery stop. Any music playing will be at the discretion of the gregarious cooks and bartenders, resulting in a hodge-podge of heavy metal, rap, and Tom Petty. And the pizza's exotic too, with pies like the Bengal tiger, which combines crabmeat, artichoke and tandoori chicken into a mystic delight. Another plus at Grinders is the backlot, a large, contemporary sculpture garden that doubles as an outdoor concert spot.
